Answer: - 49
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = -2x - 1
g(x) = 
- 1
fg(x) = f ( - 1) , we just put in the value of g(x) , the next thing is to substitute - 1 for the value of x in f(x) , that is
fg(x) = -2( - 1) - 1
fg(x) = -2 + 2 - 1
fg(x) = -2 + 1
Therefore : fg(-5) means we will substitute -5 for x in fg(x) , that is
fg(-5) = -2 (
+ 1
fg(-5) = -2(25) + 1
fg(-5) = -50 + 1
fg(-5) = -49
Let us try and solve it analytically. We have that the side=x+3 together with the short side=s and the diagonal=x+4 satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem. Then we have that
. This yields
which yields s^2=2x+7, hence a) is the correct answer.
Answer:
The cost to rent each chair and each table are $1.5 and $8.75 respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent 1 chair
Let y represent 1 table
Therefore
3x + 2y = 22 ------------(1)
5x + 6y = 60 ------------(2)
Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 3
15x + 10y = 110 ----------(3)
15x + 18y = 180 ------------(4)
Subtract (3) from (4)
8y = 70
Divide through by 8
y = $8.75
Substitute y = 8.75 in (1)
3x + 2y = 22
3x + 2(8.75) = 22
3x + 17.5 = 22
Collect like terms
3x = 22 - 17.5
3x = 4.5
Divide through by 3
x =$1.5
Answer: 10 ornaments
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that students are making ornaments and each takes 1/4 of a piece of Bristol board. We are further told that they go to the cupboard and find 2 1/2 pieces of Bristol board.
The number of ornaments that they make will be gotten by dividing 2 1/2 by 1/4. This will be:
= 2 1/2 ÷ 1/4
= 5/2 ÷ 1/4
= 5/2 × 4/1
= 10
They can make 10 ornaments
